It's like having someone read the paper for me and highlight interesting articles...and it's free. what a deal.

I think Graz will have to introduce a 'brake/throttle' on the speed 'new users' can create new posts...it might p*ss off some true newbies...but it might be the solution to forcing this w*nker to go annoy somebody else.

Amazing what a low level of a buzz some twits feels is worth getting up on!

I've got to run to lunch right now but I'll clean it up when I get back. I think I can prevent this without resorting to a throttle on new posters.

... and no longer constrained to the Other Topics forum.

Graz I presume the address he registers with is crap, and not worth bombing?

we should implement a really obnoxious captcha. Like the one over at slashdot. They have implemented a solution that is almost unreadable by humans.

But it's not an automated bot that is posting the spam. It's a human. This site is for posting sensible suggestions, not silly ones like this. Hereafter avoid this

Yep. Sadly people are actually such losers thesse days they they sit at the computer and enter the spam by hand. I guess we can be thankful that they aren't the criminal masterminds plotting the next world takeover, as who knows what kind of fiendish plans someone could invent who has the time to sit and spam pointless irrelevant rubbish over a board that couldn't give a fig.
